The atlas utilises the DESDE-LTC instrument (Description and Evaluation of Services and DirectoriEs) for standardised service description, and a GIS (Geographic Information System) to display its result on maps. Service information is combined with socioeconomic characteristics and health-related needs of the local population, alongside data on service availability and care capacity. The Atlas provides a valuable tool for planning, service commissioning, and decision-making, helping to identify gaps and redundancies in care to improve service coordination and access for individuals experiencing dementia.Read moreRead less

Funding Amount
$32,500.00
Summary
Aims to better understand how service mapping can support decision-making related to human services but focussed on services accessed by people with disability. It outlines the current state of play and potential use of service mapping for people with disability in Australia, and highlights the value and potential of service mapping, provides an overview on the current ‘state of play’ in relation to service mapping and the factors influencing service mapping quality and utility
The DESDE-AND: Adaptación, Validación Y Pilotaje Del Instrumento DESDE-LTC Para La Clasificación Estandarizada De Servicios De Atención Sociosanitaria De La Comunidad Autónoma De Andalucía

the Andalusian Regional Government: call for biomedical and health sciences research (BOJA 77)
Summary
The project aims to design and develop the DESDE-AND tool for classifying social and healthcare services in the Autonomous Community of Andalusia (Spain) through an internet-based software program. Standardising the coding of these services is essential for analysing their spatial distribution, availability, and accessibility, and is therefore necessary to support decision-making that ensures excellent public service.

The system includes a toolkit with the following components: 1) an instrument for standardized classification, description and utilization of main types of care for persons with LTC needs in Europe (DESDE-LTC). It incorporates basic descriptors and indicators in 6 European languages; 2) a coding system with a coding list and a glossary of terms; and 3) a training package on semantic interoperability in eHealth (coding and listing of services for LTC) that includes a Case Book.Read moreRead less

been followed using an internationally standardised service classification instrument--the
Description and Evaluation of Services and Directories- Long Term Care (DESDE-LTC) -- to
typify and describe all services for MS care in the study area. Available services were classified
according to the target population into those specifically provided to people living with MS and
those providing generic neurological services, both public and private, and across social and
health sectors.Read moreRead less
Global Mapping Of Low Vision Models And Services In Developed And Developing Countries
Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$43,270.00
Summary
This research will contribute to existing models and identify critical factors associated with effective low vision models of care and delivery of services globally. Factors such as coverage, access, equity, and barriers to care delivery will be examined. Relevant stakeholders such as the World Health Organization Low Vision Working Group and Non-Government Organizations will be able to use this data to set priorities for its work plan, training, program development and low vision advocacy.
